One thought on “Moody Theological Seminary – Chicago”

The Moody Theological Seminary is rich in tradition and is situated in quite a location for ministry–Chicago. By walking out the doors of Moody, one is surrounded by not only people from all over the world, but also people in drastically different economic conditions. This presents an immense amount of opportunities to do ministry and one does not have to go far to find these opportunities. The academics at Moody Seminary have made significant strides and all their courses equip students with fundamental and practical tools for ministry. They offer various programs and also provide distance learning options, creating opportunities to make seminary convenient for students in many locations. Not only that, but they also offer numerous scholarships. Overall, Moody Seminary prepares students for ministry in both an intellectual and practical manner. This is the heartbeat of Moody and I don’t foresee this ever-changing.
